The Occultation of the Universe

The "Occultation of the Universe" refers to a concept in astronomy where much of the universe remains hidden or obscured due to intervening matter and cosmic phenomena. Just as an object passing in front of a distant star causes a temporary blackout, large portions of the universe are concealed by dark matter, dust, or cosmic structures. This "occultation" makes it challenging to observe the full universe directly, requiring special techniques like telescopes and algorithms to uncover the hidden parts and better understand the cosmos's true nature.
